Let me tell you how it will be
There´s one for you, nineteen for me
´Cause I´m the taxman, yeah, I´m the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don´t take it all
´Cause I´m the taxman, yeah I´m the taxman

If you drive a car, I´ll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I´ll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I´ll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I´ll tax your feet.

Don´t ask me what I want it for
If you don´t want to pay some more
´Cause I´m the taxman, yeah, I´m the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
´Cause I´m the taxman, yeah, I´m the taxman
And you´re working for no one but me.
